If ANY of the other GOP candidates had won this election, you would not be seeing the problems that you are seeing now. I'm not a republican, but how I wish there were any other republican in there now other than what we have. Sheesh.
1. Absolutely zero proof of collusion between Trump and Russia. Don't believe me? Ask CNN. Here is Van Jones of CNN weighing in. Here is CNN producer John Bonifield's take on the Russia issue.

2. Russia didn't "hack" the election in the manner you're inferring. DHS has repeatedly said zero votes were changed as a result of any intrusions. If you mean releasing the DNC emails, and, as a result influencing the outcome, you're blaming the source, not the authors. That's sort of like blaming Snowden for the domestic snooping he exposed.

3. Obama didn't lie? Here is a summary from PolitiFact.

4. Well, on the Twitter issue, I actually agree with you.

Well, I don't think you're an Alan Dershowitz, who says there is no obstruction of justice, and he is one of the most brilliant lawyers there is.

None of you can even say what he did that was obstruction. You're just parroting what you hear from Rachel Madcow, one of the stupidest women who ever sat behind an "news" desk.

To the press - Keep up the pressure on Trump. No president in recent history has needed more scrutiny.

The press is not taking on trump.


The press is trying to prosecute trump, big difference.


Where was the press during the last 8 years? did they disappoint you not taking on obama?

Their job is hold the government accountable and in this case, since we have a pathological liar in office, they need to be more critical of him that usual.
Both these posts are off the charts...Let's ask the three reporters from CNN (Clinton News Network) about fake news (lies) that got them fired or that moron that displayed a head of Trump that got her fired. How about Dan Rather or Brian Williams who were booted for lying. Both of the latter are now on MSNBC which doesn't mind telling a few falsehoods. I could go on about the so-called free press but I am sure you get the drift.

The press has hounded all Republicans since at least Nixon, yet they let most Democratic president slide. Obama is a perfect example, which is probably just fine with you and your ilk.

What you and other liberals/leftist fail to understand is that a "free press" needs to be self governing and professional. They should hold all administrations accountable, regardless of their own personal political ideology. Thus if you are a raving liberal, you still go after a liberal Democratic president as much as a conservative Republican.
Sadly, we have very few professional journalists these days, and many are allowing their own personal biases to destroy any faith the American public has in them.

But don't take my word for it, read a professional journalist who is moderate and even another who is liberal that essentially say the same thing;

https://www.amazon.com/Stonewalled-O.../dp/0062322850

or

https://www.amazon.com/Silencing-Lef...FMKYX5A46YSG55

As a matter of fact, Attkisson has just written another book out any day now about how the media is corrupt and manipulating people, rather than reporting factual news;

https://www.amazon.com/Smear-Shady-P...FMKYX5A46YSG55

While I have not yet read this book, I'll but dollars to donuts it will dispel your thoughts on the media.

a huge percentage of the US would kill for america to be more like those countries.

You missed the part about the News Media groups admitting to lying about Trump. I guess thanks to people unable to grasp the truth, these Fake News providers maintain some viewers.

Trump tweets ands lies, tweets and lies ad infinitum.

The press needs to do its job. Don't let up and don't be intimidated.

Trump wants a nation of sheep. Some will give it to him. Others want to hold him accountable.

That is the job of the press.
Really? Considering the mainstream press has all time low ratings, why should we believe them?

"Liberal reporters have been eager to report on President Trump’s low approval numbers, but they’ve mostly ignored their own, significantly lower approval ratings."
